Davor Vincze is a composer of contemporary music who immerses himself in phenomena and experiences and conveys them musically through a powerful narrativity. Whether it is technology in his use of machine learning, or philosophy, mathematics, or the experience of visiting a Taoist temple or a gallery, Vincze hears music and searches for hidden acoustic spaces. The six compositions featured on Ashes unmistakably convey (and confirm) the composer’s aesthetic and expression, his identifying signature. A common thread emerges from these works—chaos and its decay into a remnant of the sound—debris, ashes, nothingness.
